On Thursday night, Omar, the trailblazing Somali-American DFL legislator from Minneapolis, was the feature guest on The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.

Omar started her appearance a little like a tourist passing through, snapping a selfie with the host before the interview got underway. After that, the first-term lawmaker seemed instantly comfortable.

The extended cut of the interview ran to 10 minutes, during which Omar told Noah the short version of her story emigrating to the United States, and spoke eloquently about "survivor's guilt" she felt after meeting Somalis suffering famine in a refugee camp.

Omar said her experience as an immigrant is "not that different" from that of Americans whose ancestors moved here generations ago.

"This country gave us hope, this country allowed us to develop our own identities, and to create our own home," Omar said. "And we shouldn't look down on the next person that's trying to do that."

In a small but significant error, the Comedy Central website identifies Omar as a "Minnesota Congresswoman." She's not that.

Not yet. But if she's this comfortable on national television after six months in office, we wouldn't rule anything out.
